This is a story that is, as they say, likely to run and run – Tiger Woods is reported to have been having an affair with a New York socialite.

While Tiger was in Melbourne to play in the Australian Masters earlier this month, it is claimed, 34-year-old New York socialite Rachel Uchitel was checking into the same hotel he was staying at – the Crown Casino. She told the National Enquirer, which is running the ‘Tiger Cheating’ claims, that she was in Melbourne for business reasons.

However, in what will be a blow to Tiger’s millions of fans around the world, friends of Rachel have told the paper that she and Tiger stay in touch during his frequent travels through phone calls and ‘sexting’, sending each other racy text messages on their mobile phones.

The story has now hit the internet in a big way and already there have been comments along the lines of ‘where there’s smoke there is fire’ and pointing out that the Enqurier was right about John Edwards’ love child and David Letterman’s affair.

Tiger’s lawyers have told the Enquirer that the golfer may have been at the same nightclub as Rachel at some point – but the legal team vehemently denied an affair.

Tiger, of course, is married to Elin Nordegren and they have two children.

The report is going to create a tidal wave of disbelief among Tiger’s fans. But don’t just watch this space…
